Why would a law abiding citizen want to buy a gun without a background check?

First of all, the best deals on any item (guns or otherwise) is to buy it second hand. I once paid $10 at a garage sale for a pair of golfing shoes that had originally retailed for nearly $200. And these shoes were still in excellent condition. If you buy a used gun from a gun store or a pawn shop, you’re likely to pay top dollar for that used gun. But if you can find some average guy or gal who owns a gun and wants to sell it, you can usually get… Continue reading

Do you own a modern inline muzzleloader? Well, check this out…..The Burris Eliminator III Reticle Laser Scope, is able to perform all the distance, elevation, and adjustment calculations for you. It tells you exactly where to place the cross hair, not matter how far away you are. This can push muzzleloader accuracy out to 300+ yards, making your muzzleloader suitable for any type of hunting in any season.

As of February 2015 the current market spot price for pure lead is 80 cents per pound. Today I bought 300 pounds of scrap wheel weights for 27 cents per pound. I bought it from a tire sales store.

I had difficulty finding a tire store that would actually sell me their scrap lead. All the national chain stores told me that their scrap lead is collected by “corporate”. I believe it’s most likely recycled into new wheel weights and sold again. But this particular store had run an ad on Craigslist wanting to sell their scrap lead. I drove down there and bought it.

Here again, is evidence to support my quest for learning to cast and reload my own bullets. The government is now moving to ban .223 ammunition which is used in America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15. By the way, if you haven’t joined the NRA, click the link on the left side of this page.

When someone asks me if reloading 9mm is worth it, they are usually attempting to calculate the cost per bullet of professionally made ammunition vs reloaded ammunition. And when it comes to 9mm, I would estimate that if you come home from the range with more 9mm shells than you fired, it’s a financial savings.

But what’s of much greater value than the cost of a bullet is your second amendment rights and we’ve already seen the lead bullet ban in California. I believe that now is the time to learn how to reload your own bullets, regardless of cost or savings.

In my opinion, it just makes since that liberals and those who support gun control would try… Continue reading
